The facts are being obese increases your chances of dying from covid. Just getting covid does not mean you are going to die. Recovery rate is about 99.5%. Just the facts ma’am.

CNN also reported if your left big toe nail grows faster than your right big toe nail, death rate is 18 times higher.

Why is everyone being so snarky? Use the article to help your loved ones under 65. The state is currently allowing vaccines for those under 65 with underlying conditions. Maybe they qualify and could get the vaccine earlier? Try to look on the bright side instead of seeing everything as an insult.

Stress is proven to be hazardous to your health. Some of these stories are IN THE REAL WORLD, where I live simply ridiculous.

A story on CNN saying that Covid 19 is worse for fat people is a spin to fill air time.
What does it really mean? Perhaps, in countries where people are well fed you are more likely to receive medical care rather than being buried in a field or simple left at a dump.

I am 70 plus. Perhaps in perspective it is good that this is killing old people-us.
The plague for example took out half the people in Europe they were of all ages and that caused changes in society. We should we must deal with what is.

Increased Mortality
 
Good information for us weight challenged folks. Obesity increases many health issues, high blood pressure, risk of certain cancers, medical costs, diabetes, etc.... As a members of the fat folks club we just add this to our list of health related issues to help focus our attempt at a healthier lifestyle.

The largest factor in mortality from Covid-19 is age. We Americans are overweight, stop being superior and haughty.

95 Percent of Americans Killed by COVID Were 50+

There is no accurate data about the recovery rate so be careful what you quote. The actual facts are that 523,000 are dead in the USA from this virus and for them the recovery rate is zero.

Sadly ain’t gonna happen on TOTV. Even if a poster says nothing insulting, you can count on it being followed by an insult eventually.

Tough crowd here. Welcome to America’s friendliest hometown.
